In the car, Stephanie and Jamiya sat in the back seats.
"Daughter, don't scare me..."
Stephanie leaned on Jamiya, tears flowing freely.
"Mom, why? Why?"
"It's okay, daughter. Let's go to another place and have Stephanie checked again. My grandson won't be so fragile..." Jamiya wiped the tears off Stephanie's face.
"Change hospitals? Change hospitals, will it make a difference? The best hospital, Goldmoor, has confirmed that it's a stillborn. Can any other hospital bring my child back to life?" Stephanie sobbed uncontrollably. The facade of strength she had just put on crumbled in this moment.
She just didn't understand why a good child like hers had died. Why did it have to be her child?
I was already being very careful...
She was so looking forward to the arrival of the child... Why did they have to deprive her of the right to be a mother, even taking away this little bit of happiness.
Jamiya frowned and couldn't think
Others may not understand, but Karsyn would not be unaware.Just now in the room, she had just scolded Andreas.The future brother-in-law that Andreas mentioned, definitely isn't Franklin."Franklin?" Glenn asked. He was unaware of what was happening between Karsyn and Andreas in the room. All he knew was that his daughter was currently dating Franklin."How could it be him?" Andreas expressed disgust."Who was that?" Glenn looked confused.Karsyn didn't even have time to wipe off the milk on her body, her eyes glaring, she immediately stepped forward and threatened, "Andreas, try saying that again!"Not messing with him is like going to heaven!Andreas immediately jumped aside and darted out of the door."Did Andreas say Ernesto?" Glenn looked at Karsyn, asking with confusion.Karsyn glared at Glenn and said, "It wasn't him!"After speaking, he walked outside. He had only taken a few steps when he realized
Karsyn had ten thousand grass mud horses in her mind!But thinking about Franklin, she endured!Karsyn couldn't have imagined a day like this, being so friendly to her rival."Franklin, tonight's dinner plans are settled, okay..." Miranda said with a smile, speaking affectionately to Franklin.Karsyn felt uncomfortable on the side.To be honest, she really wanted to tell Miranda that she was Franklin's girlfriend, the real girlfriend! She wanted her to get lost... go wherever she came from...Karsyn first realized that she could disregard everything except for the man by her side! She also realized for the first time that she had a temper, but couldn't express it."Hmm." Franklin's voice was soft and faint."I'm leaving now! Franklin, Ms. Melton, bye." Miranda smiled satisfactorily, waved and left.Karsyn watched as Miranda's skirt gracefully fluttered, as if silently showing off."What's wrong? Not happy?" Frankl
Butler Parker saw Britney coming downstairs and started setting the table."Madam, please come over for dinner! The gentleman is expected to come back later.""Hmm!" Britney walked into the glass dining room.She sat down, and the whole round table was empty except for her, making it appear particularly spacious.On the table were delicately arranged three dishes and a bowl of nourishing soup, along with a bowl of rice. Although it was prepared for her alone, it was evident that it would be enough for two or three people."Parker, sit down and eat with us!" Britney said as she picked up her fork, addressing Parker who was standing nearby."Madam, please go ahead and eat! I need to go back to the kitchen to attend to something.""Sit down and let's eat together! There's so much food, I can't finish it all by myself." It feels strange for her to eat alone when Manuel is not here."The lady will eat first, I will go and come back.
Britney felt the smell of alcohol wafting from Manuel's mouth, and gradually she began to wonder if she was getting drunk. She also felt an increasingly intense heat emanating from his body, making her feel uncomfortable all over.She squirmed in his arms, pushing against his chest.But the more she moved, the harder he pushed."Um... Manuel..." she squeaked and mumbled incessantly, unsure if the man had even heard her.The water in the glass was constantly shaking and spilling.Clusters of water stains soaked into the ground, resembling plum blossoms.Britney thought that this man must have been sober, otherwise how could he have taken the glass from her hand with his eyes closed, and placed it so easily on the marble table behind him?Britney witnessed all of this with her own eyes. In a moment of distraction, the man took advantage of it effortlessly.Long time ago...Lip splitting..."Britney, I wanted..."
"I did too." Following that, the others all left one after another.The conference room was left with only Britney, Malia, and Quinten...This was the first time in history that all members of the Board of Directors left as a result.In the end, this meeting ended in failure."Britney..." Quinten broke the silence.Britney was not discouraged at all and remained confident. "Chairman, according to the original plan, I will deliver the new proposal to you before noon, with half of the planned quantity.""Okay," Quinten felt relieved when he saw her attitude. He had originally wanted to comfort her, but it seemed that he had overthought it.For large-scale projects, if the chairman rejects it, an application can be submitted to the Board of Directors. If the majority of votes agree, then it can be implemented. It is relatively democratic.Britney disagreed with the chairman, who happened to be her father, and was dissatisfied with
"No one is allowed to drink beverages by then!" Rylie added.The entire department's personnel sat around the large round table in the private room. Since they still had to work in the afternoon and didn't want it to affect their productivity, Britney only ordered a beverage and didn't ask for any alcoholic drinks.Upon hearing Britney's words, everyone stood up and raised their glasses to toast."Everyone worked hard, and the company did not mistreat anyone! In the coming month, let's all keep up the good work! I hope our next gathering will be a celebration for us." Britney put down her cup and sat down."Haha... celebration banquet!" Leandro laughed.Suddenly, this sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter, making Leandro blush, thinking that he had said something wrong.Britney picked up a fork and declared, "Let's start eating! After we finish, let's take a break and continue with the afternoon's work."During the meal, eve
Conrad gazed into Britney's eyes, filled with deep affection.Britney could understand."Britney, can't you forgive me for the mistakes I made? I have already been punished for the mistakes I committed, isn't that enough?"Could Britney listen to Conrad's words? And even if she could, what difference would it make?Britney steadied herself and exerted all her strength to push Conrad away."Conrad, I really didn't want to see you again!"After saying that, Britney walked towards the office building of the Hammond Group amidst the curious gazes of others.Just now, Conrad's actions, it is uncertain whether it will spread in the company or among other people. But she doesn't have the time or energy to deal with it now.She spent the whole afternoon busy with work, without even a chance to catch her breath.Until half past five, Karsyn was as punctual as an alarm clock, and she called directly."What time can you come
When faced with such a situation, it was not easy for Karsyn to calm down and talk to the other person. Perhaps only Franklin in the world could make Karsyn do so, but Britney wondered what Franklin's reaction would be.He, you know! He said thank you to me and went out to dinner with that Miranda in the evening. Luckily, I didn't just rush in and tell that person that I am Franklin's girlfriend. Wasn't I particularly impressive this time? Karsyn appeared extremely proud.Britney knew Karsyn's intention behind doing so was not to ruin Franklin's future. However, shouldn't a normal boyfriend's reaction be to mend their relationship?Britney pursed her lips without saying a word.She had never been particularly optimistic about the relationship between Franklin and Karsyn, and she didn't want to interfere, but it was obvious that Karsyn was more emotionally invested in the relationship. She couldn't fully understand Franklin's feelings towards Karsyn, but s
Looking into the mirror, Sierra touched the necklace around her neck.The more people praised her, the more her heart floated with beauty...Regardless of whether the other person was flattery or adulation, the more she looked at herself in the mirror, the more beautiful she felt. Especially with the expensive necklace around her neck, it further accentuated her beauty.Unfortunately, as soon as she thought about it, she realized that the necklace did not belong to her. She was only helping someone else choose it to give to someone else. She felt extremely frustrated.In fact, beautiful jewelry did enhance people's facial features.But in Raiden's eyes, they were all the same, just a few diamonds, like glass beads, then added to various parts of a little cat or put on wings or something, just changing the design...He generally wouldn't choose these seemingly complicated things, just paying the money is fine.He just wanted to make th
Actually, she had always had a dream in her heart, which was that the prince would drive a luxury car and stand in front of her with a bouquet of flowers...This scene appeared many times in her dreams, but she never expected that someone would actually do it."Um. I had time."Sierra nodded shyly.I thought to myself that I hadn't been able to contact my aunt and uncle, and I didn't know if they were at the villa or not. I decided to go out with this man first and check on them later when I could get in touch with them.Now, she completely forgot that Stephanie had warned her before that Raiden was a playboy.Raiden smirked and gentlemanly opened the door of the passenger seat for Sierra. After she sat inside, he walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat.Sierra sat in the car, lowered her gaze, and looked at the large bouquet of roses, immersing herself in the fragrance of the flowers. It was her first time rec
On the balcony outside the second floor of the villa, a slender figure was wrapped in a dark robe, standing there. The faint sunlight shone on the tall male body, creating a golden halo around the figure. The sharp short hair was topped with water droplets, giving it a cool and sexy look.Manuel had just finished taking a shower when he received a call from Cortez, reporting on the situation of the Maxwell family at the hospital. The cigarette butt flickered at his fingertips, and his sexy Adam's apple rolled up and down with each exhale of smoke rings.His cold narrowed black eyes deepened in color when he heard Cortez say that Maxwell had been arrested and the conflict between Jamiya and Stephanie had escalated. However, there was no extra expression on his face, as if everything had been expected long ago."Um." There was only a faint response before hanging up the phone.After finishing the cigarette in his hand, Manuel entered the bedroom. He pulled
"Stephanie, how could you..." Jamiya scolded.With an incredulous expression on her face, she couldn't believe that her daughter had easily pointed out her son.But compared to Jamiya's strong protectiveness towards her calf, Stephanie appeared much more rational."You should go and ask the doctors and nurses here first, to see if you can take him away," Stephanie said calmly, but beneath her calm exterior, there was a storm brewing.The remaining two police officers heard Stephanie's words and did not give them a hard time. They approached the glass and took a look at the person in the intensive care unit she had just pointed out. One of them went to find the doctor, and after a few minutes, Geovanni's attending physician, Dr. Cortez, rushed over. The three of them were communicating.At this moment, Jamiya finally realized that her daughter's actions were entirely because of Geovanni's current state, which the police officer couldn't take away.
The entire Goldmoor was cleansed by the night rain, seemingly washing away the sins of the night. The sun slowly emerged on the horizon, heralding the start of a new day.Karsyn held her phone nervously."How are you? Where is Britney now?" Andreas sat on the edge of the bed, shaking his silly sister.When he was heading home from the Seventh Club, he overheard people talking about something. Curiously, he approached and listened. To his surprise, it was actually about his friend Britney...What happened to them in the end?They all didn't know. According to Mr. Castro, they sent the person who was rear-ended to the hospital and then came back, but with Mr. Castro taking care of the rest, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.He didn't want to hear that there was no major issue. All he wanted was one hundred percent certainty.He made several phone calls, Britney's phone was turned off, Bryant's phone couldn't be reached, and Raid
People over here haven't even recovered from their sadness to make a decision, but these two individuals have already started discussing calmly about which arm or organ the person is missing.Everyone wanted Bryant to stay in the hospital for a few days, worried that he had hit his head and might have some aftereffects. However, he couldn't hold on and insisted on going back...So Manuel instructed Raiden to take Bryant home and have him rest for a few days.Manuel and Britney returned to the villa, and it was already dawn."I'll go take a shower first." Exhausted after a night of tossing and turning, Britney, who was already extremely tired, looked at her muddy body and didn't want to just lie down and go to sleep like that. She decided that even a quick shower would be more comfortable than sleeping in her current state."I helped you!" Manuel took a step forward and opened the bathroom door for Britney."No need! You were injured too, but
The doctor in his fifties walked out first, while the other unrelated medical staff left from the other side.Jamiya immediately got up from the chair and ran over, with Stephanie following behind. The two of them hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my son (brother)?"Maxwell walked with heavy steps and followed along.The attending doctor was surrounded by three people, took off his mask, and said, "The person has been saved, but once his condition improves a little, we will proceed with the next surgery.""Being alive is enough, being alive is enough... Doctor, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate well and let him recover quickly and undergo the surgery." Jamiya's suspended heart finally settled.No matter what, as long as you are still alive, it's good.Before, they said her son had only one breath left, and she knew it couldn't be true when she saw him for the last time.How could her son have had any trouble?Maxwell and
That night, there was a close encounter with life and death.The lights in the hospital poured down, Manuel's cold and rigid facial features were too terrifying, and his aura was too powerful, leaving the nearby doctors standing there at a loss, not daring to say a word."If your hand were disabled, I would have to find someone with all four limbs," Britney threatened, seeing that Manuel was still unmoved.This man really didn't take care of himself at all. Although he knew he wanted to protect himself, his hands were definitely injured badly.The man, who had been staring at Britney's wound, barely reacted when he heard her words. "Let's go!""Mr. Castro, come with me over here," the doctor said in a pleasing manner.At that moment, Raiden walked up to Manuel from a different direction."You go first, I'll follow," Manuel glanced at the older doctor.The doctor quickly said, "Okay!"After the doctor left, Raiden whisper
Raiden bumped Bryant's arm, indicating him to look at the affectionate couple after the robbery.Raiden has always been puzzled as to why there are so many flowers and plants outside, yet they insist on hanging themselves on a tree.However, seeing Manuel cherish someone so much, Britney wondered if she had saved the Milky Way in her past life.Britney let Manuel carry her onto the car.Now she is covered in mud everywhere, originally wearing a white evening gown, but now she looks like a beggar who has just come out of a garbage dump.There was not a single clean spot, whether on the body or on the face.Just as she was putting her down, Britney caught sight of the large patch of crimson on Manuel's arm, illuminated by the dim light inside the car."Manuel, what happened to your hand?" Britney pulled his hand over, blood had already soaked through his white shirt, flowing down his arm onto the back of his hand.It was as if at
